Pisaq 2007, Peru’ ! I visited the ruin of Pisaq, near Cusco just a few days ago.. it’s a long way up at an altitude of about 3600 mt, it takes about 3 hours if you are not use to it and that’s my case.. the ruin is divided in different sections, so it is like discovering things during the walk. I was on my way to the Temple of the Sun when I met Isidora with her son on their way back home… ! / I love this picture because in my opinion show perfectly the idea I´ve always had of Peru’, his native people and the wonderful landscape !!!

This photo achieved a highly commended status in the 2007 ANZANG: Nature and Landscape Photographer of the Year Award. Ironically the key factors in this photograph were all negative ones, bad weather, poor light, a pitiful ski season, and a less than ideal time to go. As a teacher I only have the opportunity to go ski touring in the school holidays which is either side of the best part of the ski season. Usually this means that I have to travel to the Main Range in NSW which is a fair hike from my home in Melbourne to get to any snow. I had spent the previous day skiing out from Thredbo to the ice covered Lake Albina and as this season had not been overly good the cover was quite patchy. The day I took this shot I had planned to ski up Australia’s second and eighth highest summits, Mt Townsend and Alice Rawson Peak but the weather had produced white out conditions on the heights so by default I ended up skiing below the cloud cover in Lady Northcote’s Canyon. Not too far from my camp I saw these icicles high up a cliff on the Gorge wall. Being alone and so far from assistance should anything go wrong I was in two minds as to whether I should attempt to get to them or not. On three occasions in the most difficult spots I reassessed this decision but the closer I got the better they looked so imprudence won out the day and fortunately nothing went wrong. I don’t know whether it was my presence or the icicles time had come, but after getting two frames off the whole structure collapsed, fortunately the shots came out well. The other element of serendipity was the poor light, in better conditions the icicles would have been dazzlingly bright mitigating any chance of capturing detail in their delicate structure. I have been back to this same spot on two occasions since then to try and recapture this scene with a tripod and better gear but the trips occurred in better conditions resulting in the entire slope having a good cover of snow and therefore no icicles. The fleeting nature of these sorts of scenes is one of the things I love about photography; you can literally eternalise unrepeatable scenes, be it icicles, a sunset or patterns in the sand, what a gift. Sold two framed 12”x18” of this a little beauty. For other shots from this area check out my Kosciuszko gallery.

Sunrise at about 3 am, 65 degrees south., Gerlache Strait. Most people were tucked up in their beds, but for the restless, the freezing decks were the place to roam..Barely a moment’s darkening of the night before this happened.. then I felt I could go and sleep a little..

This shot took me somewhat by surprise. I had just spent two days hiking in Mt Buffalo National Park in Victoria, Australia with half of it off track. The previous day I had woken on Mt McLeod and hiked straight down over the granite slabs to Rollasons Falls near the base of the mountain. To give you an idea of how hard it was, it took me 7 hours to hike 3km, quite treacherous in spots too, but magnificent country and vistas. That morning I had re-ascended the mountain via ‘The Big Walk’ to my car then went back to the Chalet to say good bye to The Gorge. Having been to Bents Lookout numerous times before I saw no point in taking my camera which until this point had been my constant companion. Of course as soon as I got there this amazing rainbow appeared sending me scrambling back to the car for my camera, fortunately it was still there when I got back and this image was the result which ended up being my favorite for the trip.

Blue Lake is in Kosciuszko National Park and takes a day to ski to in winter from either Guthega or Charlottes Pass. The immediate area around Mt Kosciuszko was the only area on mainland Australia high enough to form glaciers in the last ice age. After the glaciers melted the hollows created by these masses of ice formed just four lakes of which the biggest one is Blue Lake. In winter it isn’t very blue of course freezing over completely. The first time I visited the lake was in summer so skiing across it in winter was at first surreal and despite myself slightly disconcerting. The cirque surrounding the lake also forms Australia’s only consistently used and accessable ice climbing area. There are a few areas like Federation Peak in Tassie which are theoretically fantastic for such endeavours but so difficult is access in winter that visits let alone ice climbing is virtually non existent. I took this shot on my second winter trip there which I did by myself in 2003. Arriving early in the afternoon in white out conditions I decided some self education was in order and having just bought a snow shovel for this trip I thought I’d put it through its paces. As a matter of safety it is a standard part of kit for snow touring so you can dig yourself an emergency snow cave if conditions are too bad for a tent. Having never built a snow cave and not wanting to do so for the first time in an emergency I set to work. I found what I thought was a suitable place where the snow was deepest in the lee of a rise and set to work. After a few hours I was wet and cold but the proud creator of a very modest snow cave which I slept in that night. At dinner time it snowed for about ten minutes then abated. Upon awaking the morning I checked the entrance and noticed I’d been snowed in. No problem I got my ski pole out poked an air hole through the snow and went back to sleep. Being used to the silent nature of snow falls I had expected to find a huge dump outside to have created my metre deep burying. After digging myself out I was staggered to see that my previous days footprints hadn’t even filled in with snow and upon contemplation realised that the tiny ten minute snow shower during the previous evenings dinner was all that had fallen. Inexperienced me however had dug my snow cave in the most dangerous spot imaginable, that is where the wind carried it into a drift. Luckily hardly any snow fell because if it had I might not have been around to tell my story. Snow does breathe to a certain depth but once past that it is airtight as four unfortunate snow boarders found out the next year when they perished in a snow cave dug in the same area during a blizzard. Their bodies despite massive searches were not found until the spring thaw revealed them directly underneath where so many searchers had looked. A beautiful but potentially unforgiving environment.

I spent a large amount of my misspent youth climbing. The Grampians is by far my favourite climbing venue with a great combination of exploration, views, adventure and the most sublime rock imaginable. This particularly superb outcrop is in the Victoria Range in the Mt Fox area which climbers call Hollywood Bowl. The climb itself is called ‘Arrows of desire’ and comes in at the modest grade of 16 although in this shot it looks way harder. The walk in is a steep 45 minute hike which on this particularly hot summers day left us very overheated and sweaty. After getting on the face the reflected heat almost overcame me, making me feel quite queasy but after a bit of a rest in the shadow of the overhang above which succeeded in lowering me elevated temperature I managed to make it to the top without any falls or rests on the rope. My good friend Deiryk took this shot. This shot was featured on the home page in Sept 2008.

This may only be a shaky handheld job on my little pocket camera (fujifilm finepix a500) but is one of the three pics I’m proudest of ...ever…. and it still makes my heart lurch every time I see it! It had been six and a half hour walk in and up from sea level to that point and comprised more rock scrambling than I had ever envisaged and a heartstoppingly precarious walk along the ridge. I had carried a small tripod every step of the way but the others waiting wanted to press on with even harder descent and 4 hour return trip so I had no chance to set up…..... / :)) The view looks back over Loch Hourn into the highlands from the top of Ladhar Bheinn, or ‘hoof hill’ ‘one of the finest mountains in Scotland with narrow rocky ridges and spectacular corries’ (Scottish Mountaineering Club Guide). It is 1020m but we had scrambled up and down on the jagged ridge repeatedly so had climbed considerably more. The last snows of the winter look reassuringly solid in this pic but in fact stood proud of the mountain leaving the sheer drop visible beneath. We had sailed into knoydart the most remote penisula on the scottish mainland from Mallaig into the hamlet of Inververie which is inaccessible by road, only by sea or a demanding walk of many miles. It is graced with the fantastic Old Forge pub with superb meals and imprompu nightly ceilidhs which walkers and sailors really enjoy! Deer roamed the gardens and early next morning I got the precious shot of morning gems Looking back in an amazing place For full details see heartbeat ridge Ladhar Bheinn, in the remote scottish knoydart peninsula For an idea of scale see also hey wait for me / See all pics of this stunning area by clicking this link: knoydart

Featured in Community Red bubble Weekly News!!.. I am thrilled by this humbling mention. thanks RED Bubble this is an image I took.. when on the trail from Fairbanks Alaska .. down the Alcan Highway.. info here / I drove all the way to Florida.. and left Alaska behind… (4,999 miles trip ) There I learned about a more peaceful life.. I learned there was hope in all circumstances. I learned to pause before speaking.. I met my Lord and savior there.. / this is actually in Canada, in the Yukon territory, and these hubcaps.. in the form of Totem poles are part of a collection of the store owners.. so typical of the humor of these guys.. many a people come down this trail, which is over 1000 miles long , down the Canadian rockies.. and I guess, they leave many a hubcap along the way. but the vision you see in the background is Alaska.. we were close to the border.. Ill never forget this trail. / my son and I slept in the car just left of here.. and when we woke up, I took this image.. camera : a disposable one of those kind this is in special dedication to my bubbler friend : Anibal, for she dreams of visiting this place

Chefchaouen, Northern Morocco / Canon 400D My boyfriend Unai (who is a basque photojournalist) and I were working together there for a few days two months ago :) It’s a magical blue paradise hidden between mountains!!! Children accompanied us throughout an afternoon, they felt a lot of curiosity about digital photography (this is a small village and the only one photo store there is an analog one). Timidly at first and very naturally later, they asked us many things about it. They spoke fluent Arabic, French and Spanish and the love they showed us impacted us greatly :) Feature work in: Featured Art Page of Redbubble / / - All Street Portraiture & Photography group (August 09) / - The Photographer in Action group (August 09) / / - ImageWriting group (August 09) /

Best viewed large This is a selection of images from my recent visit to Cradle Mountain, Tasmania. I stayed in the fabulous Cradle Mountain Lodge, and all of the creatures shown were wild and were right on my doorstep. The shots were taken with a Canon 5D and either a 100-400mm lens (wombats, pademelons, and currawong), a 24-105mm lens (landscape scene), or my 105mm macro lens (lizard feet). This composite was uploaded so that a card can be ordered as a special thankyou to a fabulous booking agent who did us a huge favour!
